Prince Yan dared not say anything more. She knew that Wan Ge would not reveal the truth, which was why she admitted it directly in court.
She hadn't expected to be caught so easily, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way. So in the end, Prince Yan could only obediently answer, "Yes."
Prince Yan was unaware of what Wan Ge wanted to do by calling him back. If it weren't for last night's incident, what exactly did she want to do?
But whatever, I just have to speed up what I need to do, since there are only a few days left.
…
…
"Is Your Highness tired?" the attendant asked quietly as he helped Ci Xingxuan with his hair and makeup.
Ci Xingxuan didn't feel tired at all, and smiled slightly: "It's alright."
Seeing the servant bring out a long-collared garment, he pointed to a shorter one beside him and said, "Wear that one."
“But…” The servant glanced at Ci Xingxuan’s neck, his eyes darting away, clearly embarrassed.
Ci Xingxuan knew this, of course, so it was intentional. The attendant, realizing what was happening, immediately agreed.
She obediently helped Ci Xingxuan change his clothes, and then followed him to the Jade Balance Palace.
…
Chi Heng looked puzzled, wondering what Ci Xingxuan wanted to do at this moment.
When he saw him, what attracted his attention most was Ci Xingxuan's neck. Realizing something, he unconsciously clenched his fist.
Ci Xingxuan slowly began to speak: "I have something I wish to discuss with Your Highness privately."
Chi Heng waved her hand, and all the servants withdrew. Ci Xingxuan's servants also left.
Chi Heng wanted to pick up the teacup, but ultimately put it down: "What does Feng Jun want to say? Is it more than just showing off to me?"
With a faint smile, Ci Xingxuan said, "Consort Luo has already told His Majesty that he wants to leave the palace. I hope that Chi Heng will do the same."
Chi Heng was slightly taken aback. What exactly happened last night? Why would Chi Heng say such things, and was it Ci Xingxuan who did it?
"What if I don't?" Chi Heng's nails seemed to be digging into her flesh, but she appeared completely oblivious to the pain.
"Why don't you take a look at this first, and then Your Highness can make a decision?" Ci Xingxuan took out something and placed it in front of Chi Heng.
The above are all plans that Chi Heng and Luo Ziyun had made before, plans to poison him.
Chi Heng's face turned pale instantly, as if she had lost all her strength in an instant. In the end, she looked at Ci Xingxuan with confusion and asked, "Why not just hand these over to His Majesty?"
His Majesty currently favors him above all others, and that is an undeniable fact. If he were to be handed over to His Majesty, the consequences for him would be severe.
Ci Xingxuan was even more unfathomable than he had imagined, knowing all of this perfectly.
Ci Xingxuan sighed deeply: "Because I don't want to put her in a difficult position, nor do I want to disappoint her. She grew up with you all, and although she doesn't love you, I can still sense that she treats you differently."
Chi Heng forced a smile: "I admit defeat. I must say His Majesty has excellent judgment."
While he was thinking about how to kill her and eliminate her completely, Ci Xingxuan was thinking about not wanting to put her in a difficult position or disappoint her.
"I just don't know when Feng Jun plans to reveal his trump cards to His Majesty." Ci Xingxuan is no simple man; he definitely has his trump cards, but he doesn't know what they are. It shouldn't be as simple as just the Grand Tutor's mansion.
